I cannot turn my eyes, I cannot count the cost
Of all that has been broken, all that has been lost
I cannot understand, the suffering that life brings
War and hate and hunger
And a million other things

When I’ve done all that I can
And I try to do my part
Let sorrow be a doorway
Into an open heart

And the light on the hills is full of mercy
The wind in the trees it comes to save me
This silence it will never desert me
I long to hold the whole world in these arms

May all beings be happy
May all beings be safe
May all beings everywhere be free
